Hello there, hoping that someone can give me some hints/tips for a possible holiday in Scotland early in 2014.
Unfortunately I have had to retire through ill health ( just turned 51)and am unable to walk more than 10 to 15 minutes without discomfort and fatigue.
I was thinking about driving up ( or possibly flying and hiring a car to save time) as my wife will be driving.
Ideally would like a base (hotel or B&B ) from where to travel each day or just enjoy the locality if not up to it on specific days. Would love to see Crested tit, poss PTarmigan, CApercaillie, eagle etc if possible, but the most important thing is a peaceful restful place to enjoy the scenery.
Any suggestions or personal recommendations would be gratefully received, esp re: whether to fly or drive. Also what's the best time to go to avoid the midges!
Many thanks in advance,
Howard
